They still are, the Wikipedia page just hasn’t been updated.

Edit: Actually, if you’d just look at the “Legislative History” section of the wiki article instead of reading just the top summary, you’d see it got reintroduced in 2024.

Liberalism is far more than just the economic liberalism of the 1700s. Most democratic voters are actually liberals and not leftists as well.

Though since FDR, Liberalism in the U.S. has somewhat lost its meaning and turned into anything left of center.

Saying this after saying to vote third party is certainly a pot calling kettle black moment.

Wow one dude said something similar to them being Israeli controlled over 30 years ago, it totally must be true then. /s.

This isn’t evidence of anything

The same way we prosecute all other breakings of FARA such as this one and all others, the donations aren’t so opaque that the DOJ/FBI can’t investigate it and figure out what’s happening, just as they did here.

No? How did you even get that impression? I literally just said AIPAC has no connection to the Israeli government, therefore it shouldn’t be registered with FARA.

Also lol, Change.org really?

and have zero visible connection to the Russian government.

No connections at all unless abiding by FARA yes, that would be legal. That’s not even close to what happened here.

But you’re assuming that the Israeli government has some connection to AIPAC, it doesn’t. Sure some Americans could start a homegrown fully American Pro-Russia PAC, just like AIPAC, and that would be completely legal, but that’s not what happened here.

No…To get around FARA they could never fund it, or ever coordinate with its leadership, just how AIPAC is funded entirely by US citizens and is ran entirely by US citizens, and has zero connection to the Israeli government.

Which makes sponsoring an organization like this incredibly risky, which is why almost no one does it.
